Civil War L4 - How Organised Was the New Model Army?

This lesson contains:

• A starter task that has questions that can be amended or altered based on what you have been previously teaching.
• An overview of the situation so far in the war and that neither side had won decisive victories. Students are then introduced to the new leaders Fairfax and Cromwell and the idea of a new ‘model army’, why it was created and what the intention was.
• An activity to then use an information sheet to answer questions on the key information about the new army and then to explain how the new types of troops might help them win.
• A task to study the rules laid out for the army. Students use the questions on the board to write about what made them religious, disciplined and brave. Students summarise the key provisions while doing so.
• A plenary to recount key words.
